My HP Envy 6455e just keep showing printer off-line. I can't get it to print through wireless connection. I am exhausted and want to be able to use the printer by connecting a usb cable. Has anyone tried this and succeeded?

Hi @Walxraed,
Welcome to the HP Support Community!
Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding your printer!
We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.
Try these steps:
Prepare the USB Cable:
- Ensure you have a USB Type-B cable (commonly used for printers).
Install Printer Software:
- Visit the HP Support page to download the latest printer driver and software for your HP Envy 6455e.
Connect the Printer to Your Computer:
- Turn on your HP Envy 6455e printer.
- Connect one end of the USB cable to the printer and the other end to your computer.
Install the USB Printer Driver:
- Once connected, your computer should automatically detect the printer and attempt to install the driver.
- If the driver does not install automatically, run the driver installer you downloaded from the HP Support page.
Set Up the Printer:
- Follow the on-screen prompts in the driver installer to complete the setup.
- Ensure you select “USB Connection” when prompted for the connection type.
Test the Printer:
- After the installation is complete, try printing a test page to confirm the printer is working correctly.
